## Resource

President Cyril Ramaphosa is fighting to halt his impeachment under Section 89, arguing the independent panel misapplied legal standards and risked public humiliation—though judges dismiss his fears, noting he knew the process was possible when he took office. Meanwhile, opposition parties like the African Transformation Movement and MK party counter that the process has already begun and his late application is too little, too late, calling his claims of irreparable harm speculative without specifics. The court’s ruling is expected next week, with high stakes and legal drama looming. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
